Disaster – Special Irony Edition

Former FEMA Director Michael “Heckuva Job Brownie” Brown, who completely bungled the response to Hurricane Katrina, is criticizing Obama for responding to Hurricane Sandy “so quickly”. You can’t make stuff like this up.

It’s not clear that Brown bungled the response to Katrina–he did warn Bush and Chertoff ahead of Katrina that the New Orleans levies were likely to be breached. There is a video of Bush being warned and there are transcripts on the Internet. Bush then went on vacation and later denied having been apprised of the situation by Brown.

Have you read “The Great Deluge” by Douglas Brinkley? Required reading. Brown would not let the National Guard in. 1/2 the National Guard was in Iraq. They wouldn’t even let helicoptors drop water to these people who were stranded. They basically refused all aid while Wal-Mart was getting in food and water. While the National Guard came in by the seas. While the people were lying out on the grass because there was no room inside away from the heat. Fugate is the very best. He happens to be a Republican. He was in charge of the Andrew situation in Florida. Obama begged him to become head of disaster relief. Fugate wants only to head up disasters when they come. He did a wonderful job through this.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Fugate
No more “Brownie” situations while Fugate is head.
